Those of you who live in less populated places might have the luxury of spreading yourselves out. But in nice places like California, it is impossible to leave the 'safe distance' between cars that we were all taught about when we learned to drive. So we must adapt the way we drive so that we don't endanger the drivers behind us. Not slowing down a lot in our current lane is one of these things.
